A man?

It's freaking awesome.

Like, wait so long to feel what I'm feeling right now, miss.

So happy to be able to come back and do what I love in front A great show for fans.

Yeah, tough moments come back to you after some time away.

How was the universe?

What you expected to see?

Oh, that he lived up to expectation for May.

I mean, I knew is an aggressive fighter, and we hit hard on.

He had a region boxing, but had almost trusting my coaches and my skill sets.

That didn't really faze me at all.

You seem to just get better.

Better is if I wanted take time to get rid of anything.

Er, you know, after the first couple minutes, I just felt like I wasn't myself. 00:00:52.400 --> 00:01:2.300 I was actually very late from I was trying techniques, looking for certain things that my coast we're working on Jim Self on a pretty good go out there and covered my head again. 00:01:3.040 --> 00:01:7.070 You heard there than the question they put away that I was working for it. 00:01:7.070 --> 00:01:9.660 I definitely tried, like, 10 more sex. 00:01:9.660 --> 00:01:11.180 And second for sure, we got it done.

But happens they got there and trying new things.

Last thing for me.

You maintain a positive attitude throughout this now that you're back and everything's kind of behind you.

Where do you want your career to go from here?

You know you want to fight for good.

You make up for lost time.

What you want to make a plus side?

When I came out that fight unhurt, I'm ready to jump back in there as soon as possible.

I have a name which I know we don't have at their fights.

So assumes Mike.

Yes.

Is ready to jump back in there.

I'm ready to go as early as may.

Michael Kiesa.

Mike Michael.

Yes, way Did you know you have halfway point. 00:01:50.910 --> 00:02:0.310 We start to turn around and just fight is almost like you could see it in his eyes that I got email came through. 00:02:0.310 --> 00:02:1.330 I knew how despite one. 00:02:1.330 --> 00:02:8.280 I was that confident coming here tonight that I was just going to everything I could with my part of win this fight so they see how things played out. 00:02:8.290 --> 00:02:12.080 I just got more confident as the fight went on and I just went out there doing my best.

Definitely paid off.

Just killing with ball.

Human range is that that was really the answer.

Me obviously did.

Clinch is really tires, everybody.

I'm tired.

Both you guys out.

But you were the one that just pure cardio for sure.

Sorry.

Other crush again.

I could distract the easy side.

I'm saying your car there was a lot of energy in the clinch, right?

But they want you to break way toward a man like that is very funny.

God going to despite one of these my coaches kept saying was volume was a choice.

You're saying that I can push past most things that most can't eso him telling me the entire training camp fire fight?

That was a choice.

I just kept at it back in my mind. 00:02:57.530 --> 00:03:2.450 I mean, I think someone said some stat that I threw more significant strikes and strikes that he threw in general. 00:03:2.450 --> 00:03:5.490 So, uh, let me know that right there. 00:03:5.490 --> 00:03:11.100 Let me know that my coach is doing the work and it's paying off and last name for me like you pointed.

Just go, man.

Like, what do I have to do to this guy?

Put him away.

Crack.

It just would not give up on, you know, trying to get a leg trying to get a body, like trying for sure.

We knew that coming in.

And the only way to stop leaves a little to get a hold of his neck and put him out.

So I knew going in to fight the tough guy put away And the probably already do this choke so different back remind the entire time.

All right, way gone.

It's hopefully my guess.

Until between now and then.

What you got going on tonight after you know, after part and find out.

6 a.m. Back with my wife and baby boy Had her back to the gym on Monday.

I got things to get done.

You're the underdog.

There were definitely some dollars.

How about yourself?

What was your thought before the fight started? 00:03:58.880 --> 00:04:0.120 I'm gonna get it done tonight. 00:04:0.130 --> 00:04:0.970 That was my mindset. 00:04:0.970 --> 00:04:7.450 When just came through the mindset Rod training camp, I was going to get it done tonight it was No, I'm going out there and try and I'm going out there and attempting. 00:04:7.670 --> 00:04:10.650 It was gonna get it done tonight and I went out there, did just that.

What do you think was the biggest difference between you?

Seem like you're balanced, attack your experience with wrestling.

Well, it's just I think learning came down Thio preparation.

I mean, I could definitely tell based off the attacks that he came out with in the first round and how he said things out.

That is him, this coach's distant research and and watch film in that kind of thing.

But my coast and I did the same thing over past year.

Plus, so it was just I think that was what may be the key difference in that fight.

Was this preparation going into it?

Last question 32 years old.

No, man.

It honestly flick.

I'm just getting started. 00:04:54.070 --> 00:05:1.330 I mean, eyes one, those crazy things that, like a 26 24 you feel like you're on stop blowing and nothing to hold you back. 00:05:1.330 --> 00:05:3.260 And then as you get older, life happens. 00:05:3.260 --> 00:05:8.240 Third things take place where I had an injury that my whole career and get me out for nine months. 00:05:8.240 --> 00:05:11.560 Ad something else that helped me out for 16 months.

So all these life circumstances send coming away and start affecting your your confidence and that kind of thing.

But I feel like getting over those homes.

That's just beginning for me over the next six years now.

Awesome.
